IS THERE ANY Hope?
NEW AND IMPORTANT OPINIONS
OF PULMONARY EXPERTS
Can the Universal Consumption be Sue
cessfuily Treated?

DR.. Borgeon, g leading French doctor,
has new treatment for consumption!
He gives an enema of carbonic acid and
sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter
gas carrying the former into every part of
the throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, is directed at eff
fects-the cause remains unGisturbed.
What this eau se is has been stated by
perhaps the highest pulmonary authority
N the world, i. E., the Brompton Hospital
for ConsumptiYes in London, England.
This malady every year carries off from
one-seyeuth to one-ifth of the entire pop
ulatiop OF England!
Dr.. Payne, NJ. D., NJ. r. c. P, London,
is suthority for this statement.
The same or greater proportion OF
deaths obtains in America.
DR.. Payne also says that one half the
total number OF deaths from all oHte,'
causes have seeds of this disease in the
system which Cnly require some irritant
to develop.
Dr.. Herman Brehmer, an eminent Ger
man authority, says tbSJ consumption is
caused by deficient nutrition of the lungs,
by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be disputed.
The medical world recognizes them. The
uric acid is the iTritant in the blood that
causes the development of the seeds
which Dr.. Brehmer says lie dormant in
the blood.
Every particle of blood which passes
through the lungs and heart, also goes
through the kidneys, and if they are in the
least deranged they cannot rid the blood
of its killing poison. The thousand little
hair-h sewer tubes OF the kidneys very
easily get blocked up and diseased; and
when they DO, they Corrupt instead of
purifying the blood. Kfaney disease may

acid poisoned blood through the lungs
every second, and they soon give way.
The Brompton Hss2ital Investigation
showed that 81 per ceRk OF the victims of
consumption were afflicted with deranged
kidneys, which permitted the uric acid
poison to remain In the Blood and irritste

faulty even though unsupported action Of
the kidneys, t2plains why, in order TO
master the dreeded consumption, one
must rid the blood of the uric acid irrltant
which infames and burns up the
lung substance. ssEor this purpose there
is nothing equal T5s-that great specific,

will not ea4y be cured but viii be
prevented. -
When the kidney is healthy, no albumen
appears in the Waresn but albumen is
found in the water of fnate than half of
those who die of consumption!
This, then, is the condition of things
that alwsgs precedes consumption: First,
weakened Kidneys; second, retained uric
acid. poisoning the blood; third, the
development of disease in the lungs by
the irritant acids passing through them.
Then there is little cough in the morn
ing: soon thick, yellow matter is
spit I'D, followed by loss of flesh and
strength, with dreadful right sweats;
and when the patient goes
to his school physician for help, he is put
on cod liver oil which his stomach, weak
ened also by uric acid in the blood, can
not digest. Because there is no pain
present in the kidneys, the patient does
not think they are affected, but the kid
ney acid is doing its work every minute,
every hour, day and night, and by-and-by
the disease Of the lungs has advanced
until pus is developed, then come hem0rr-
hayes, and at last the CLASSY stare which
denotes that the end is near!
A post-mortem examination Of such
cases shows that the terrible uric acid
has completely destroyed the substance
of the lung.
1t is impossible to cure lung disease
when the blood is poisoned with Grid
acid.
